New Build Provision
Since its formation in 2000, Isle of Arran Homes has provided fifty eight new affordable homes for rent in Shiskine, Kilmory, Brodick, Pirnmill, Whiting Bay and Blackwaterfoot. Forty eight of these were general needs housing and four amenity housing.
The latest developments were a general needs development of six houses at Hendry Place in Brodick which were built by John Corbett Construction Ltd, Brodick and let in June 2007 and four amenity bungalow in Blackwaterfoot. These were let in July 2007. In March 2009 we purchased six family homes in Lamlash from John Thomson Construction Ltd. This successful transaction came about as a result of the continued close partnership working between Isle of Arran Homes and North Ayrshire Council, together with the support of the Scottish Government Housing and Investment Division. The joint funding package was put together through the Scottish Government providing £600,000 from the Accelerated Funding Programme, North Ayrshire Council providing £203,151 from the Affordable Housing Account and the balance met through private finance raised by Trust Housing Association Ltd
Isle of Arran Homes/Trust Housing Association Ltd continually strives to provide addition affordable housing on the Isle of Arran.
In partnership with North Ayrshire Council and under a design to build contract with local builders John Thomson Construction we are currently building 24 houses for rent at Corrie at the old quarry site. The development is to be called Red Quarry Road. The majority of the houses will be for families, 14 two bed room and 6 three bed room houses with the remaining four 1 bed room houses for amenity (over 60 years of age or with support needs). The properties are due to be completed and handed over to Isle of Arran Homes in July 2011 but it is anticipated that the houses will be released in stages with six being ready in November 2010 and a following six in February 2011.
Should you be interested in being considered for one of these houses or any of Isle of Arran Homes houses for rent please contact the office for further advice and a housing application form.
